No turns eating fattening

You will think, rightly, that this sentence is as true as the fact that if you eat a little less, should lose weight, which is not always the case. However, things are not as well. While all foods are equivalent-in the end, a kilo is a kilo-long is that it is not the same as the kilo is lechu -
Ga as a pork ribs: second food calories are infinitely higher than the first.

But this story, you must have read and heard a thousand times, not always repeated in the same way. Let the dichoso metabolism is crucial in this matter. For example, if you are a very active life, which makes sport up to four times per week for at least two years, eat a serving of fries with less fat than someone who has a sedentary life and his only gymnastics is to handle the remote control of television.

Why? Why not just spend more calories by doing exercise, but their metabolism is faster because it has maintained this activity for quite a while. It's like a car engine that has accelerated: more spent fuel than one that is about to. This is one possible conclusion: nutrition is not an exact science. Therefore, it is not always what you eat as fat in the same way. Depends on what lifestyle takes, or how worried or not, and most importantly-before you have eaten or is eating during the day.

Eat with someone with neofobia

If we were to classify fans to people in groups, we could say that there are two types of people: those. when they enter their usual cafe, test new things on the menu, and you always ask the same thing.

This trend is one of the areas to be examined by specialists that deal with neofobia food, a field that is providing valuable information on the eating habits of children and adolescents, and even differences in personality of the most monotonous at the table with respect to those more adventurous palate.

The aversion to new foods can be measured by the Food Neophobia Scale, developed by psychologists Patricia Pliner and Karen Hobden, in 1992 and consists of ten phrases that the subject must rank as one to seven is more or less agree what they said.

For example: "I am always trying new foods and different", "I am afraid to eat things that I have not eaten before" or "ethnic foods look too weird to eat." The neófobos food not only prove less new plates, but they get less pleasure to try them ... although they like.

This has led to the team of specialists such as Robert A. Frank, of the University of Cincinnati, USA, to determine that what they are looking really fans of all is to try to meet their continuing search for new developments in the field of food, as do all other fields of vetch.

It is not unusual for the group of neofílicos especially appreciate the spicy, meat and alcoholic beverages, while the supporters of neófobos are more casual platito of Swiss. Carried to an extreme, the neofobia food can cause serious damage to health.

Children and adolescents have been the subject of intensive investigations with a view to determining which factors influence preferences and rejection of their diet as a way of correcting any permanent disorder in their food.

Lack of appetite in children

Vitamins, calcium and iron are not used to open the desire to eat, as many parents think. For that there are specific drugs that act on the regulator's appetite center, located in the brain.

But they are only recommended when a child has an illness, and must be prescribed by the pediatrician. If you do not eat the small to ensure that parents are awaiting him and make him more cases, stimulants are useless. In such circumstances, the recipe is honey, a little care and patience.

Gas, in how to prevent kids

To prevent gases should feed the baby by putting semierguido, and ensuring that your nose is free so you can breathe well. Where once it was over, he puts on his shoulder and given a few pats on the back, without problems may expel the air that has swallowed.

There are babies during the first three months of almost non-stop crying, especially at night. In most cases, is not an explanation for this malaise, and it is said that the child has colic.
It is more common in babies who drink bottle that breastfed infants.

These children are flatus and eliminate many gases. Sometimes, if you change the lactose-free milk on the other, better. But it also may be submitted by cramping another series of causes, such as starvation, overwork or food insecurity. If parents are tense and anxious, the child will show more restless and more vulnerable to these uncontrollable crying.

Therefore, we must listen and reassure parents to take away his anxiety, explaining that they have their babies is normal, frequent and that will gradually disappearing without leaving sequels.
